The Aiguille du Midi

An unmissable sight famous the world over, the Aiguille du Midi is the icon of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc valley. Take the cable car and, after a stop at the Plan de l’Aiguille midway station at 2,310 metres, soar to an altitude of 3,842 metres.
Enjoy the sweeping all-round views over the French, Swiss and Italian Alps, and a spectacular vista of Mont Blanc.
Spend some time in “the world’s highest museum” then take one more lift up to the highest deck at 3,842 metres and dare to “Step into the Void”,
a viewing box with glass panels on five sides and a void of over 1,000 metres below your feet!
Top tip: chew chewing gum on the way up and down to prevent ear block, which happens with the differences in pressure.

Once back down, head to the station for the departure of the Montenvers train to continue your visit.
